It is nice if you can add to your homepage
news from slashdot, freshmeat, linuxorg, or
have an alert system which fetches new books from Amazon about Perl or Python or XML. This kind of
connection of your web script with other's databases is SO MUCH EASIER if all sites have a standard way to communicate with each other.
If you ever tried to
collect information from several sites and present it on yours, and pray everyday, that people on these sites did not put a new web-design and screwed up all your intricate regexpressions, you know what I am talking about.
The need for a standard API which would help to get information from databases of different sites is huge.
I don't think that subscribtion method is bad for stores. They will not care a lot. They will sell the freshest RH and subscribers will get it by mail. The REAL problem is DEADLINES. As soon as RH will have deadlines, quality of their distro will deteriorate quickly. RH6 is pretty buggy. With increasing complexity of future releases it will be even worser with time. Bugs of distro will not be fixed, new unstable features will pile up and result will be catastrophic. I would prefer situation with less new things, better quality for old things and minimum bloat.
What will be when the first edition will be considered finished? Will you make a 1.1 fork for the development of 2.O edition? Will the progress on the book accessible in a "real time"? Are you going to have all possible formates online when the book will be ready? (sgml, html, tex, ps etc...) Dimus
The problem with this method is an ability to synthesize long stretches of DNA. For now only 100 nucleotides (it is enough for 20-30 latin letters) can be made in one set. To write a one page report would cost enormous amount of equipment time and money. This is amazing that Nature published this paper. The idea is on a surface. For years one letter code is used to define aminoacids and stop signals and people have fun putting their names in DNA for a long time.
I tried to upgrade from Mandrake 5.3 (with KDE upgraded to 1.1.1) to Mandrake 6. Everything was smooth during installation. After reboot I had some unpleasant surprises.
First, kde was screwed up totally.
Second, X server started to launch about 5 times slower than before (I don't know why yet).
I desided it will be cheaper to clean everything out and start from empty root partition, after that everything worked good, but X server still launches slowly, so I switched to init5 as a default.
Now I am trying to make recompiled kernel to work for me. Now it dies after checking SCSI, with "kernel panic" message.

Don't forget..CTP is the FIRST shrinkwrapped game for Linux, and only the third by a well known commercial developer (next to Quake and Quake2). There are a lot of tools and utilities that Loki are developing on the fly to do their ports (like the MPEG movie player) and lots of pieces that they have to write to replace the DirectX calls.
Most of CTP's problems (I think) has to do with the bloated Windows code. What native UNIX app sucks up 70MB of RAM normally?
The problem with this is a precedent. If this concentration of bugs will be in the second and the third games, it will state, it is OK to have commercial software for Linux MORE buggy than Windows software.

I can not wait when visualization of 3d molecular structures will be fast with Linux. Thanks to all of you for the work!

If you want to see the top 1 -- it is
Andey Rublev, done by Tarkovsky. It is the best
movie about hacking (it is about 14'th
century Russia though:)
